Something Borrowed
I opted to attend a screening of Something Borrowed as opposed to the surefire hit Thor because I was in the mood for a romantic dramedy and figured I paid…
Certified Copy
There are some movies that are nearly impossible to review because to tell the story is to give away (ruin) the experience of watching it. Certified Copy is one of…
Arthur
Arthur, oh where to start? It's a remake of the 1981 Academy Award winner. Yep, nominated for 4 and won 2. It starred Dudley Moore, Liza Minnelli and Sir John…

The Adjustment Bureau
Phew, it’s time to come down from the cinematic high horse that is AWARDS SEASON and relish in some movies that are pure escapist fun. The Adjustment Bureau is definitely…
No Strings Attached
No Strings Attached serves its purpose – by serving up a decent little romantic comedy. It’s rated “R” for a reason though, so don’t be takin’ the kids! The movie…
Blue Valentine
Blue Valentine is hard to watch and riveting all at once. It’s real, it’s raw and it’s probably way more relatable to the masses than the equally hard to watch…
Country Strong
Country Strong is at its best when the music is playin’. Unfortunately, the stuff that happens between the songs is Country Weak. So – if you don’t like country music…

Tangled
I finally got around to seeing Tangled, and that’s only because my 11-year-old niece was willing to see it a second time around. She is, most definitely, its target demographic…

I Love You Phillip Morris
Offbeat is the best word I can think of to describe I Love You Phillip Morris. Essentially it’s a gay prison love story based on the true life tale of…
Burlesque
It’s no Chicago or Dreamgirls, but if you like musicals (as I do), then you’ll like Burlesque well enough because the singing and the dancing are superb. The storyline, the…
Love and Other Drugs
Love and Other Drugs is a bit of a mess, just like life is a bit of a mess sometimes, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t an enjoyable mess. The…
